He said the news is fake and it should be disregarded by the general public.

“Government has not written to any CEO to retire…it’s not true. We need to be cautious in our reportage. There’s no such direction to these CEOs. It is only one person who has been engaged in such matters", he said.

Last week, reports emerged that government has asked about eight Chief Executive Officers of state institutions to retire in March.
